a higher number. For laylines that display a higher sensitivity

to changes in the boat's heading or true wind angle, enter a

lower number.

Setting the Keel Offset

You can enter a keel offset to compensate the surface reading

for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure depth from

the bottom of the keel instead of from the transducer location.

Enter a positive number to offset for a keel. You can enter a

negative number to compensate for a large vessel that may

draw several feet of water.

Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer:

• If the transducer is installed at the water line

, measure

the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the

boat. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a positive

number.

• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel

measure the distance from the transducer to the water

line. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a negative

number.

Select Settings > My Vessel > Keel Offset.

Select or based on the location of the transducer.

Enter the distance measured in step 1.

Sailboat Autopilot Operation

CAUTION

When engaged, the autopilot controls only the rudder. You and

your crew remain responsible for the sails while the autopilot is

engaged.

In addition to heading hold, you can use the autopilot to maintain

a wind hold. You can also use the autopilot to control the rudder

while tacking and gybing.

Wind Hold

You can set the autopilot to maintain a specific bearing relative

to the current wind angle. Your device must be connected to a

NMEA 2000 or NMEA

0183 compatible wind sensor to perform

a wind hold or a wind-based tack or gybe.

Setting the Wind Hold Type

Before you can enable the wind hold type, you must connect a

NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 wind sensor to the autopilot.

For advanced autopilot configuration, see the installation

instructions included with your autopilot.

From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Autopilot Setup >

Wind Hold Type.

Select Apparent or True.

Engaging Wind Hold

Select MENU > Tack/Gybe.

Select Tack or Gybe.

The autopilot steers your boat through a tack or gybe, and

information about the progress of the tack or gybe appears

on the screen.

Setting a Tack and Gybe Delay

The tack and gybe delay allows you to delay steering a tack and

gybe after you initiate the maneuver.

From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Autopilot Setup >

Sailing Setup > Tack/Gybe Delay.

Select the length of the delay.

If necessary, select Done.

Enabling the Gybe Inhibitor

NOTE: The gybe inhibitor does not prevent you from manually

performing a gybe using the helm or step steering.

The gybe inhibitor prevents the autopilot from performing a

gybe.

From the autopilot screen, select MENU > Autopilot Setup >

Sailing Setup > Gybe Inhibitor.

Select Enabled.

Gauges and Graphs

The gauges and graphs provide various information about the

engine and environment. To view the information, a compatible
